CONFIDENTIAL ATTORNEY-CLIENT PRIVILEGED


Hey Andy,

I checked in with Danny about this and I think there’s not anything to really worry about. If you get a more formal legal demand you should send it to us and certainly if you get served with a lawsuit, please let us know right away. But this informal email not signed by a real lawyer (there is no record of a “Kevin Handsome” in the CA bar registry) is not something I’d worry about.

Thanks,

Fa Zang Rinpoche and to expose the falseness of the statements by Mr. Danny O’Brien and your group known as Noise Bridge. We have allowed over the past few years for this posting to remain but at this time it must be removed because the statements are based on assumptions and not fact and those assumptions are false in nature. The false nature will be explained in court when and if these postings are not removed from the internet immediately and completely. Witnesses are ready to be present in the court room and you will be sued for a large fee for the years of defamation of character and the many people who have read your false postings on the internet which have cause our client Ven. Fa Zang Rinpoche hardship.
>> We will be watching for those posts to be removed and if they are not removed with in 60 days we well will have no choice but to move forward with our action to clear Venerable  Fa Zang Rinpoches name and to restore Venerable Fa Zang Rinpoches status as a honest and humble man who does no harm and is innocent of your false accusations.

>> In 60 days we will furnish contact information and a subpoena to court if the posts have not been removed by that time.
>> 
>> We appreciate your attention to this matter and pray that you will comply for the sake of all people involved.
